Qi Xia didn't understand why he was so uncomfortable, obviously ...... She told herself that liking this person was a thing of the past. But in reality, it is very difficult for people to maintain absolute rationality and control their minds.

When she looked at Chen Xifan, there were huge waves in her heart, and she could only be unfazed on her face.

Qi Xia carefully packed up those emotions, squeezed out a smile, and said with red eyes: "It's okay, it's too cold, and I was blinded by the wind and sand on the way I just came." ”

"Come on in."

Chen Xifan didn't talk nonsense, turned sideways to make a passage, and then led the person into the house.

The outside of the villa is a bit like Grandma Chen's house, and after entering the door, you walk through the garden and follow a red brick path uphill to the door.

Entering the door, the overhead light was warm, Qi Xia stood on the soft carpet, looked through the hallway and looked in, and there was a moment of shock.

Crystal chandeliers illuminate the entire hall, and the walls are hung with paintings by famous artists, every detail shows the owner's taste. It's a gorgeous house, but it's untouched, like it's been empty for a long time.

Chen Xifan opened the shoe cabinet in the entrance, searched for a moment in the empty cabinet, and found a pair of disposable unopened slippers and handed them to her.

"Thank you." Qi Xia took the low table sitting next to him and changed his shoes.

After changing her shoes, she went to the living room and sat down on the couch, and she panicked. Running here to find Chen Xifan was completely impulsive, but now that he has calmed down, he realizes that he doesn't know how to end up next.

How is she going to explain why she came to Chen Xifan?

Under the tension, it was as if something had to be done to alleviate the anxiety. There was plenty of heating in the house, and Qi Xia loosened his scarf and took off his cashmere coat and held it in his arms.

Chen Xifan opened the refrigerator and wanted to bring her something to drink, but the Jiuzhang Mansion was not often inhabited, and the refrigerator was empty. He went to the kitchen again, and fortunately when Aunt Wang came yesterday, she left some tea leaves.

Boiling water and cooking tea, Chen Xifan picked up a white porcelain teacup, washed it, and wiped the water outside.

He took it out and put it on the coffee table in front of Qi Xia, "Drink some water." ”

"Thank you." Qi Xia was not thirsty, but he took a sip of the cup and explained, "I happened to be interviewing nearby today, and I wanted to send your coat over, but ......"

It's such a clumsy excuse, she can't make it up herself.

Chen Xifan didn't get entangled, "Don't worry." ”

"Do you have a cold?"

Chen Xifan raised his eyebrows, "Huh? How do you know. ”

Qi Xia's hand holding the cup tightened, pointed to his throat, and said, "Listen to your voice is a little dumb, and...... It doesn't look very energetic. ”

Chen Xifan was stunned, lowered his eyes to look at her, and said in a joking tone: "The observation is very careful." ”

"I ......" Qi Xia's ears were hot, but fortunately she didn't tie her hair today, Chen Xifan shouldn't have seen it, "We who are reporters pay more attention to details." ”

"Awesome, Big Paint Reporter." Chen Xifan laughed, his voice was lazy, a bit like teasing her, and responded: "I've been having a fever for the past few days, so I'm asking for leave." ”

"Have you taken any medicine? Has the fever gone away? ”

Chen Xifan said indifferently: "I ate one last night, so I should have returned." ”

"Fever reducers once or three times a day, you have to take them on time." Qi Xia was in a hurry, and didn't think about it so much, and subconsciously reached out to touch his forehead, "Isn't there a thermometer at home?" What do you mean that you should be retired......"

The distance suddenly narrowed, and the aroma of gardenia swept in an instant, and the breath was full of her taste, fresh and elegant, like being surrounded by the summer wind.

Chen Xifan froze, not daring to move, he saw Qi Xia's snow-white wrist close to his eyes, and then, there was a coolness on his forehead.

He lowered his eyes, rolled his Adam's apple up and down, and looked away unnaturally.

In the past, when Qi Yuan was sick and had a fever, Qi Xia often did this, and when she heard that Chen Xifan was not sure whether the fever had subsided, she almost instinctively reached out to probe. It wasn't until the palm of his hand was pressed to his forehead that Qi Xia realized that it was very inappropriate for him to do this.

However, feeling Chen Xifan's obviously high body temperature, Qi Xia didn't have the heart to correct the inappropriateness of the combination.

"Chen Xifan, you have a fever." Qi Xia withdrew his hand and said solemnly.

"Oh, then I'll take my medicine again."

The medicine was on the coffee table, and it was not long after he could see that he had opened the package, Qi Xia asked him, "Have you eaten today?" ”

"No, I've been sleeping until now."

Qi Xia said: "Let's eat something first, and then take medicine after eating." ”

"Okay."

In fact, he was rarely treated like this, especially after his parents divorced, he moved out of Ziyu Academy, and no one around him took care of him, and he didn't like to be managed.

But now, no matter what Qi Xia says, Chen Xifan just wants to follow her.

Qi Xia asked, "Is there anything to eat at home?" Why don't you order takeout? ”

"He Xiao's mother sent some soup before, I'll take a look." With that, Chen Xifan got up and went to the kitchen, and Qi Xia followed him.

There is crucian carp soup and longan black chicken in the insulated lunch box, which are some easy to digest and nutritious foods, but they are a little cold, and they can be heated in the microwave.

The food was not much, and there were no staple foods, so Chen Xifan said, "Let's order some takeaway." ”

He took out his phone and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Qi Xia was stunned, "Order what you want to eat." ”

"Do you remember the hot pot you ate in Rongcheng last time? I just happened to have a branch nearby, would you like to try it? ”

Qi Xia's eyes widened, "No, you can't eat such spicy things when you're sick." ”

Chen Xifan was slightly stunned and looked at her in surprise.

I remember that it was the first time she had spoken to him so seriously. He was a little happy and explained: "I just think this weather, eating hot pot is just right." ”

"That's not going to work either." Qi Xia righteously rejected him, "People with colds and fevers should avoid spicy food, so order something light." ”

The corners of Chen Xifan's mouth curled, "Okay, listen to you." ”

While waiting for the takeout, Chen Xifan went upstairs to change his clothes. He has been at home for the past few days since he was sick, and no one will come except for Grandma Chen, He Xiao, and it was really unexpected to see Qi Xia today.

It was difficult for him to describe the mood of seeing Qi Xia during his illness, and after the accident, it was more of a torture of being in the same room with her, and an untouchable anxiety.

In this kind of anxious torment, he slowly tasted some subtle emotions.

The body is hot and cold, which is a typical symptom of a cold. When Chen Xifan washed his face, cleaned up briefly, and went downstairs after changing his clothes, he saw Qi Xia standing in the living room storage compartment, flipping through a philatelic book.

Chen Xifan walked over and propped up his left hand on the storage compartment, "Interested in philately?" ”

Qi Xia was startled, retreated, and was about to put the philatelic book back in a slight panic: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to turn over your things." ”

The page opened in the philatelic book happened to contain the set of special 5-2003, which Qi Xia recognized at a glance and couldn't help but read more.

"It's okay, just watch it."

At this time, the takeaway arrived, and Qi Xia put the stamp book back and didn't continue to look at it.

After dinner, he stared at Chen Xifan and took antipyretics, it was not early, and Qi Xia was ready to leave.

Chen Xifan hooked the car key with one finger, grabbed a coat and walked out, saying, "I'll send you." ”

"No, I'll just take a taxi."

Realizing that he was still having a fever and it was not safe to drive, Chen Xifan was stunned and took out his mobile phone, "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to send you." ”

He made a phone call, and not long after, a black car was parked in front of the courtyard. Qi Xia recognized that it seemed to be the black Mercedes-Benz that often took Chen Xifan to and from school in high school.

The door opened, and the cold wind poured in, Qi Xia shrank his neck, only to find that it was snowing outside at some point.

Winters in Kyoto are dry, and although it cools, it doesn't snow often. The snow is not heavy, and the snowflakes swirl down from the sky, like catkins.

I can't help but think back to Christmas in my third year of high school, when they came out of the convenience store, and they were all over the world. Qi Xia never imagined that many years later, there would be an opportunity to watch the snow with him again.

Qi Xia turned around. Waving at him: "I hope you recover soon, bye-bye, I'm leaving." ”

Chen Xifan looked at her fixedly and said, "Okay, tell me when you get home." ”

The black car drove away slowly, Chen Xifan stood at the door for a long time, went back to the house and closed the door, the room was cold and silent, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with these quiet.

There is a sudden thought in my head, such as ...... If only she could have stayed a little longer.

He was about to go upstairs to sleep in his slippers, when the doorbell rang again.

This time, it was Aunt Wang, who was next to Grandma Chen, who came to bring him food.

Aunt Wang entered the house and shook off the fine snow on her body, "Xiao Fan, the old lady made some fish porridge and asked me ......to deliver it," she said, she saw the dishes and chopsticks packed in the kitchen, "What, have you eaten it?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Xi said in a muffled voice, "A friend just came over, and we ate together." ”

Aunt Wang didn't think much about it, "Then I'll keep the kitchen warm, maybe you're hungry at night, you go upstairs to sleep, and I'll leave when I'm done." ”

"Okay, then I'll go up first."

When the things were delivered to Aunt Wang, she had to rush back to take care of Grandma Chen, and when she handled the fish porridge and cleaned up her things, she found a hair on the carpet.

Aunt Wang was strange, lying on the ground and picking it up, and found that it was a long black hair, which obviously belonged to a woman.

This hair is definitely not hers, her hair is gray at her age, and the length is not right.

Aunt Wang was silent, put her hair in the trash can, and took her things back to Baita Lane.

Chen Xifan's illness dragged on for four or five days, and after he recovered, he continued to fly in a row. After New Year's Day, the Lunar New Year is approaching.

Chen Xifan took the time to go back to Baita Lane.

He doesn't come to Baita Lane very often, but as long as he is free, he almost always comes, plays chess with the old lady, eats a meal and leaves, and never stays overnight.

It was the same day, when the grandparents had dinner and sat in the tearoom playing chess.

Grandma Chen was playing white chess and noticed that her grandson was deliberately letting her, and the old lady muttered unhappily: "You kid, don't you look down on people?" ”

"How dare you." Chen Xifan just laughed, coaxing people more and more happy, "It's your chess skills that have improved again." ”

The wrinkles in the corners of Grandma Chen's eyes became a ball of joy, and she fell, "You kid, you are getting better and better at coaxing people, where did you learn your tricks of coaxing people?" ”

Chen Xifan dropped a sunspot calmly, and said lightly: "Born." ”

Grandma Chen sneered, "Come on, I was stubborn when I was a child, but I didn't see you so good at coaxing people, let's say, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

The change in topic was simply unexpected, Chen Xifan was amused, "Grandma, you just asked two months ago, forgot?" ”

"I didn't forget!" The old lady was confident, "I didn't have it two months ago, it doesn't mean that I don't have it now, and I still have a hard mouth when I take people home." Tell me, who is that girl and what she does? ”

Chen Xifan was stunned: "Take home?" ”

"Isn't it? The night of Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Outside the tea room, Aunt Wang explained, "There was a long hair in the house that day. ”

The woman's reconnaissance ability is too terrifying, Chen Xifan couldn't cry or laugh, "Your eyes are really bright." ”
